Most Based Comments

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

Of course the Jan 6 insurrectionists had no right to be there, they should have all been arrested that day and I'm glad many have been since.There's no need to send in the military with live ammunition like in Kent State, that was an insane overreaction. The university should order the protestors to disperse, and if they don't, the police should arrest them, they should be charged with trespassing, and suspended or expelled. (4)

What you people don't realize is that this is the kind of shit that lead to the Kent State massacre in 1970. We are basically repeating history. And personally, I think both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are both too old to be President. But the Republicans must never control the Federal Government ever again. Look up Project 2025 and see what they're planning to do. It would basically take away ALL our freedom and our right to privacy. Do you really want that? (-6)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

All they need are some water hoses. Make it rain. The wokies aren't anywhere near tough enough to camp in the rain for any amount of time,. (4)

Hate to tell you this, boomer. But there's a thing called the First Amendment. If you don't believe in freedom of speech for people you don't agree with, you don't believe in freedom of speech. If you people had your way, the military would be sent and they would open fire on them. (-2)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

The first amendment says that the government can't restrict speech. It doesn't say you can take over space on private property, and it definitely doesn't say you can use it to harass Jewish students. The university has every right to clear out these protestors and I hope they do. (6)

What if they send in the military and it leads to another Kent State? Would you support that? And if they can't take over space on restricted property, then those who attacked the US Captiol on January 6 had no right to be there, either. (-2)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Your argument is literally "just let them kill civilians bro please just a little bro please"The Idiot here is you. Nobody is carrying for Hamas. They are carrying for the 99.99% of innocent Palestinians that have and are suffering because of the apartheid state of Israel (1)

It's not apartheid and its a war that was started by hamas, its a war they can stop at any moment they want by surrendering and returning the hostages.The palestinian people are innocent and getting bombed by the decisions made by the leaders of Gaza, Hamas.These are facts, its unfortunate the people get caught up in the meat grinder of war but thats the problem when you elect terrorists to run your country.The war is over when hamas says its over thats how war works kid. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Extremely weird how a "superior power" with the intelligence capabilities to know precisely which buildings in Gaza these Hamas fighters are hiding in (so they have a readymade excuse every time they blow up dozens of innocent boys, girls, babies, elderly, noncombatants etc to smithereens) was somehow caught completely blindsided by an invasion of their borders that took months if not years to plan. Almost as if they let it happen on purpose, so they could then raze and steal more land that doesn't belong to them exactly as they do to the Palestinians every day in the West Bank.You hasbara goons can desperately try to control the narrative all you want but the rest of the world is increasingly aware of the realities of this conflict with every passing day. You don't see a fraction of this level of support for Israel anywhere outside of the US/UK and even there it is limited to lead-brained boomers, maga cultists and miscellaneous reactionary dipshits. (1)

Gotcha, if you know its gonna happen and then let it happen its your fault.Again every step of the way you carry water for hamas, no agency for them. They were forced to attack Israel Israel was forced to attack them and now you're pretending like they didnt voluntairily leave Gaza 20 years ago. Know who else left Gaza? "Fatah", know why? Cause hamas threw them off of buildings to consolidate power.Anything else interesting happen in gaza for the past 20 years? Maybe a couple rockets? Anything at all? Defiitely no land grabs though, so whats your excuse for them now.When they start erecting settlements there i will be on your side just like i'm on the side of the palestinians in the west bank, except this war in Gaza is not that at all.Stop conflating issues. Frick hamas and the war they started. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Terrorists??? Democrats and Republicans alike want to live in fascists society so badly. (0)

Actually we support Nations defending themselves from r*pe, murder and rockets. We dont support nations who attack their neighbors and then hide behind civilians while moron kids and their benefactors carry the water for Terrorists. (0)

When schools send a bunch of cops in to fight college students, it immediately makes them look brave and justifies their cause. Everyone roots for the underdog especially when they're actually risking something.

Meanwhile at UCLA they're just letting the protestors do whatever. So they're inevitably making themselves look bad.

Beloved parts of campus are spray-painted with cringe anarchy symbols. Walkways are blocked so students can't get to class. Protestors keep climbing onto building scaffolding which impedes construction for no reason. There's a PSA that no bananas or peanuts are allowed at the encampment because someone has an allergy.

I can feel the vibe slowly beginning to shift against them just because they keep doing stupid college-student type stuff.

They really only win when images of cops arresting them are promulgated through the mainstream, because they invoke the cultural memory of Kent State and student protests of the 60s. Columbia is the most embarassing example because the administration is allowing Elise Stefanik to dictate their response because they're more afraid of protecting their jobs, which is ironic because they'll probably be losing them soon and having a Scarlett letter going forward in left spaces because of how they treated them. The Republicans couldn't be happier that this implosion is happening in an election year, it's just impressive that the Biden administration has been able to side step for this long.

Please COPS! PLEASE BEAT US TO DEATH!

The video of the Columbia students who took over a building requesting humanitarian aid at a press conference was so embarrassing. The video of the horse cops breaking up the UT protest was embarrassing. Ignoring seems to be the only good method.

A picture of themself being arrested is what they need to propel their post Uni activism career.

This sub gets too caught up in optics. The reality is repression is effective. It may strengthen passive activism and sympathy, but those people don't do a thing. They're not a problem. Meanwhile repression actively hinders a sizeable part of the demographics that aren't useless, the ones actively doing something. It's a net positive to dissuade them with violence. This is based on my experience in France, maybe not fully applicable to the US where protests are a lot more performative in nature.

neighbor wat

I thought this sub would be sympathetic to the protestors

everyone here probably aligns with the protestors morally and ethically but it's always frustrating to see the left lose the war of optics because we can't help but be cringe.

I'm so checked out, how are they being cringe? All I see is them having occupied the national spotlight and a heightening of political tension

They took over Hamilton Hall (I'm fine with this) and then during a press conference today talked about the need for students occupying the Hall to receive "basic humanitarian aid" unless Columbia wants them to "starve and die of thirst". When told by a reporter that they are simultaneously calling themselves revolutionaries while also asking to be fed by Columbia, she says they aren't asking to be fed but asking "that they don't violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid". When asked if Columbia is stopping delivery of food, she says they are "looking for a commitment that they won't". Just unbelievably cringe. To top it off stood behind her during this conference is a bearded man wearing a crop top and keffiyeh

Seen another one of students who were asked what the goal was. She said showing support for Palestine and demanding NYU stops. When asked "stops what?" she says "Honestly I'm not so sure" then she asks the girl next to her what they are protesting for NYU to stop and she says "I wish I were more educated on that".

There was a student with a "severe banana allergy" so the encampment was made a banana free zone, but Zionist anti-protestors brought bananas and laughed while eating them from a distance which made the students furious.

For anyone averse to cringe its really hard to cheer these people on

Why would anyone care about how others eat their food?

I do not care if people break spaghetti because they want smaller pieces.

I do care if they break it to "make it fit in the pot".

Because it softens enough in boiling water to bend and fit after a few seconds. So people who break it for that purpose, are blatently lacking in basic critical and logical thinking, and they need to learn so they stop perpetuating that nonsense.

For people who just want smaller pieces, that's fine. Since that type of pasta isn't available in all stores, and might even be more expensive based on where you are because of much lower mass production numbers.

Because Italian food is the only thing left of the Roman Empire.

most historically literate redditor

If you saw someone wearing shoes upside down with their laces tied around their ankles wouldn't you say

"Hey! There's a better way to do that! That's not how you use shoes!"

This is the same concept but with chefs and Italians

I mean if I live with them and they waste a lot of food I might care a bit.

I know cutting crust off is a waste of food, but how is breaking pasta a waste?

If you really want to put it that way, when you try to break a noodle, you'll notice it always breaks into three pieces, the middle piece can be very small if you do it with your hands close to each other, but you will always lose a small amount of pasta by breaking it.

I just noticed you can even see it in the post all the lil pieces flying all around the photo lol

That's why you break them over the pot, angled so the broken bits go into the pot. It's an easy fix.

Almost like basic reasoning can answer his problem.

"You break da pasta and it flies forward!" Hmm, maybe break it into the pot?

But why breaking it in the first place?

I think to fit it in the pot so one half isn't undercooked vs the side that's not in water

... are you all out there just yeeting pasta into a pot and leaving it to boil unattended

If I wanted to attend my food I wouldn't be making spaghetti

I don't see any issues with modifications on food. Do whatever for you to eat. Who cares

yeah! let me eat my bananas with ketchup in peace

As much as an abomination this is, if someone likes it then that's on them

I put Nutella and mayo on meat lovers pizza it's such a great combo

in conclusion: italians lmao

P.S.: Pineapple is good on pizza

We do not believe diversity, whether of gender, race/ethnicity or any other criteria, is a meaningful basis by which to identify and assess the qualifications of director nominees nor do we seek director nominees purely for the sake of diversity.

Wow this sounds pretty problematic...but one commenter has uncovered the TRUTH!

This needs to be up top. This came up 53 days ago and is an OUTSIDE attempt at planting board members, potentially BY THE ENEMY. This is evidenced by OUR board's recommendation to vote NO on proposal #4.

This shit needs to be front page and sticked because in the last 3 years' votes the recommendation was YES across all proposals. We household investors could therefore cause HARM by voting yes. VOTE NO ON PROP 4

The "ENEMY" is using....DEI to plant board members?

in the last 3 years' votes the recommendation was YES across all proposals. We household investors could therefore cause HARM by voting yes.

After the Artesian build drama, bring LTT to its knees, my boi Steve did some journ*lism again.

G*mersNexus = A small but very reliable hardware review channel on youtube - The presenter is Steve also called Tech Jesus because of apperance

LTT = Linus Tech Tips, biggest tech youtuber who got exposed as useless by G*mersNexus

Artesian Builds - Custom PC assembler company which was embroiled in a huge controversy last year Read about it here https://g*mersnexus.net/features/inside-collapse-artesian-builds-20000000-bankrupt

TLDR

• GN does expose of EKWB with information from whistleblower employees

• GN Contacts as many people as they can, suppliers, ex-empl/contractors and gets info

• Its all real, and vetted like a good journ*list

• Hardware youtubers stop dropping EKWB while also airing their greviances (JayzTwoCents, derbauer)

• EKWB CEO Does the BP Oil spill "We're Sorry" spiel

• GN Digs deeper, more people come forward and spill the beans

• Konig was the CEO until the took over as CEO in 2019

• Foid CEO replace by Konig again, and thus the FOID is absolved of all Reponsibilities

• GN Exposes a LITTANY of shady finances and other violations, law breaking activities and most importantly Racism (check screenshots below )

• ALL accusations are backed up by evidence

This all started 10 days ago when Tech Jesus (g*mersnexus a PC hardware review channel) did an investigative report on EK waterblocks the company. EKWB is a super expensive liquid cooling parts company, they make a lot of custom water blocks

I left this open because there's simply no way of not looking suspicious otherwise.

However, as usual, the comments and general lack of knowledge astound me. Heck, I'm surprised at the shear quantity of scathing comments regarding the pricing. Competition exists, just buy a cheaper brand? Watercool is always cheaper and the quality is solid, why just hate on a brand for no reason if you have no intention of buying their product anyway? Either way, regardless of the outcome of all this, very disappointing news, and very disappointing seeing what this sub can be like.

Part 2 Thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/1cfeoyg/exposing_corruption_eks_prison_threats_lawsuits/?sort=controversial

Now the falls in line

This kind of scandal NEVER ends well in communities as small as these. Larger companies can get away with this kind of shit because most people don't know/care. Spaces as small as watercooling? Word gets around fast because almost everyone is keeping an eye/ear out. A different scandal happened in the home theater space where Lexicon got caught taking cheap products from other companies and slapping their own label on them without changing anything (except the price by a factor of 10x), ruined their reputation permanently and now the brand is essentially dead weight in Harman's lineup. Didn't matter that they had made some of the finest home theater equipment in the past, the brand's reputation was effectively ruined. With the half-assed apology and the fact that EK has already been slipping in terms of quality over the years, I can't see them coming back from this. Will they still be around? Perhaps, but I don't think they'll be nearly as big as they once were in the industry after this and there's no way that whatever crawls out of the ashes is going to be able to offer anything even remotely close to their current catalog. They'll have their loyalists I'm sure but there's no way they'll be able to maintain the brand as it stands.

Kinda disappointing that Linus downplayed this whole situation a bit on the latest WAN Show saying that he likes the product and the company should just do better.

I mean what's wrong with that? Their management being shitty doesn't change the fact that they do have good products and they should do better

There is so much seethe on the LTT forums but I think the jannies are active there and it up

Now lets come to the CEO who MAYBE responsible

Click here for the timestamped vid

Listen just to this segment if you want to see how she was involved

• Joined 2019, thats when it started going downhill

• visits office once a month

• take lavish trips on private jets using company money to visit hardware expos (all pictures on her Instagram)

• has 20 years of experience

• Has caused legal issues, employee issues

• IS REPLACED BY OLD CEO (That STRAGGY GUY Above)

ESCAPES RESPONSIBILITY AS USUAL

He now claims if he (arestovitch) ain't elected as Ukrainian president it will be over for Ukraine. He went this week especially crazy talking about some kind of third republic for Ukraine giving elections speeches about how Ukrainian lives are more important than the territory and dunking on Zelenskyy.

But funniest part was that he was telling oh no big deal if Zelenskyy doesn't do election and will become unelected on May 20. But now he is basically telling Zelenskyy must go after licking Zelenskyy butt from 2019-2023

And of course I predicted this:

But reality is Zelenskyy got in so many shady stories so he has only 2 ways out.

1st capture Moscow

2nd never end this conflict

He has no other options
